The meeting/registration spot for DCOII will be the Bagley Pedestrian Bridge, which is at the corner of 21st and Bagley. If you need an address to plug into your GPS, punch in:
2840 Bagley St
Detroit, MI 48216
Be there by 1 pm. Registration to compete is $20 and includes refreshments.
Hope to see you there!
Detroit’s annual street comp is back this weekend- Saturday, May 19th at 1:00pm, to be precise. If you missed it last year and you’re a blader from Detroit, or able to get to Detroit, well… better follow your prime directives this year.
The meeting/first spot will be announced at 8pm on Friday evening, here on DR and on the DCO Facebook page. Saturday’s afterparty details will be available at the comp.
100% of the competitors’ $20 entry fee goes to the prize purse, and first place gets the whole cash purse- this could easily be numbers-that-need-a-comma territory, people! Very exciting for a blading comp.
2nd through 5th places will split product from the event’s many sponsors (listed below), and 1st-3rd also get custom cast iron plaques. Your entry fee also secures you liquid refreshments throughout the day.
James, NZ, SP & Co. have been hard at work making sure this year’s DCO outdoes last year’s, and they’ve secured the following sponsors:

Let me start off by saying, if you’re looking for high res in-depth coverage, this is not the post for you. But if you’re looking for pretty minimal, completely unprofessional, and totally “hip” coverage, look no further!! There’s barely even any actual competition photos! It’s crazy!
Unlike last year (when Michelle and I shot the event for Balance), I just wanted to attend. I didn’t want to be weighed down by my camera gear and constantly worrying about the shots I was getting which makes it a lot harder to truly enjoy the event. So this year I just wanted to be in the bleachers with my friends while we all grommed out over our favorite pros. Of course though, I still had to shoot a little :). I just chose to pack super light and brought my Canonet and some Kodak tri-x film. Definitely not a camera suited for adequately covering an indoor blading competition, but I’m pretty happy with the results.
So here it is. My little view of what went down.

As you may or may not have noticed, this blog has been slightly less than spectacular. It’s time for that to change. I already have a few different posts that I am working on that will be posted shortly. They will be mostly just photos because I not be so good with the words. Until then enjoy this photo of me throwing water at Chynna.

Well now that the trip is over and I have time to kill at secretary of state, I figured I’d make the first update post! 
Originally posts were gonna be made on the road but they weren’t…so..yeah.
Anyway, stay tuned for some soon (hopefully:)) to be posted recaps with plenty of photos courtesy of Michelle Gerard.
Until then enjoy some random iPhoneness.
